may cause overheating, electric shock, or damage to the phone. For usage precautions and tips on
care and maintenance, see Important: Do's and don'ts on page 28 and Care and maintenance tips
on page 29. Also make sure to read the Safety guide that comes with your phone.

Important: Do's and don'ts

Before use

Make sure the nano SIM and microSD trays are inserted into the slots securely and their covers are
closed tightly. For instructions, see Inserting a nano SIM card on page 12 and Inserting the microSD

card on page 14.

§ Never attempt to insert or remove the nano SIM and microSD trays with gloves, wet hands,
or when the phone is wet.

§ Before closing the covers, wipe off every drop of water or dirt with a clean, dry cloth.

§ When closing the covers, make sure that no hairs, fibers, or small particles are caught

between the covers and the slot openings to prevent water from seeping through the gaps and
entering the phone.

While using

Don't immerse HTC Butterfly 3 in or let the USB port and headset jack come in contact with the
following:

29 Your first week with your new phone

§ Water containing soap, detergent, or shower gel

§ Sea water, swimming pools, spas, and hot springs

§ Any liquid besides tap water such as alcohol, juices, and condiments

Don't operate HTC Butterfly 3 underwater.
While the phone is immersed in water, don't press the POWER and VOLUME buttons.
Under moderate rain, you can make or receive calls with wet hands and without an umbrella. To be

specific, the rainfall's precipitation rate must be within 20 mm/hour.
You can make or receive calls while holding the phone with wet hands, such as when you're in the

bathroom or kitchen. Be reminded about the following:

§ Don't hold the phone directly under the shower spray since it is not designed to withstand
high water pressure.

§ Don't immerse the phone in a hot tub.

§ Avoid leaving the phone in humid places such as the bathroom or kitchen for too long since it

is not moisture-proof.

Keep the phone away from sand. Sound volume may decrease if sand gets into the
earpiece, microphone, or speakers. If sand gets inside the phone, this may cause
overheating or a fault.

Don't plug in your headset when the headset jack has been exposed to water, dust, or other particles.
Don't charge the battery while the phone is wet. Also, the power adapter and accessories are not

water resistant. Never use them in wet areas such as in the bathroom or kitchen since contact with
water may cause malfunction, electric shock, or other hazards.

Care and maintenance tips

Cleaning

If the USB port and headset jack have had contact with salt water, liquid chemicals, dust, or other
contaminants, immediately rinse using fresh water. These contaminants may damage the connector
pins.

§ Before rinsing, make sure the nano SIM and microSD covers are properly closed. See

Inserting a nano SIM card on page 12 and Inserting the microSD card on page 14.

§ While rinsing, don't press on the covers to avoid having gaps around the covers which may
allow water to seep through the gaps.

§ Hold the phone at a distance of about 10 cm under a faucet or showerhead and rinse using a
low flow of water. To be specific, the water flow must be less than 6 liter/minute at a room
temperature of 5°C to 35°C.

§ Rinse the phone by hand only. Don't use a brush or sponge.

30 Your first week with your new phone

From time to time, clean the USB port and headset jack with dry cotton swabs to avoid having soiled
connectors which may affect the cable connection. Wipe gently with care to prevent deforming the
connectors.

Drying

After HTC Butterfly 3 gets wet, drain the water off the phone to avoid getting your clothes or bag
wet. Also, the sound volume of the earpiece, speakers, and microphone may be less audible if these
parts are not dried well.

1. Wipe off the water from the phone with a clean, dry cloth.

2. The display may not respond accurately to touch gestures when it's wet. For the touch screen

and lenses, wipe with a soft dry cloth such as a microfiber cloth that will not scratch the
surface.

3. To drain water off the USB port and headset jack, hold the phone firmly and shake off the

water from each port.

4. Also make sure to shake off the water if it gets into the gaps around the POWER and

VOLUME buttons or into the earpiece, speakers, or microphone. Don't use cotton swabs to
wipe the earpiece, speakers, and microphone.

5. After shaking off the water, leave the phone at room temperature for 3 hours or so to let it dry

completely.

Moisture may remain even after shaking off the water. This does not affect usage, but it's best to
keep the phone away from humid places to let the phone dry.

If condensation forms inside the display such as when there's a drastic change in temperature, place
the phone at room temperature until condensation disappears.

Other tips

§ Avoid storing the phone while it's wet. Water drops may turn to frost in cold climates.

§ Avoid leaving the phone inside your bag or pocket for a long time since moisture may

accumulate on the phone.

§ Don't use the phone near hot splashing water or near hot air such as a hair dryer.

§ Don't place the phone where it gets extremely hot or cold such as near a stove or inside a

refrigerator.

31 Your first week with your new phone

§ Don't leave the phone in places subject to direct sunlight such as in a car and in places that
are extremely hot, cold, humid, or dusty to avoid possible overheating, deformation, or fault.

§ Parts that maintain waterproof protection such as the nano SIM and microSD covers may
degrade over time. If these parts degrade or get damaged, the phone will no longer be
waterproof. If this happens, contact your retail store or mobile operator. You may be charged
for parts replacement.

Tips for capturing better photos

To get better captures with the Camera app, here are some tips on what to do while taking your
shots.

Improving focus and sharpness

§ HTC Butterfly 3 has autofocus, which works best on a subject that is not moving too much.
To change the focus, on the Viewfinder, tap the subject you want to focus on.

§ If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, press and hold the subject to lock the focus.

§ You can set the sharpness before taking a photo in the Camera settings, or manually adjust

the sharpness of a photo in Photo Editor.
Generally, it is better to sharpen a blurry image rather than to reduce the sharpness in an

image.

Taking well-lit photos

§ HTC Butterfly 3 automatically adjusts the focus and exposure. If the image appears
underexposed or that it appears dark on the Viewfinder, tap a part of the image that is in
shadow. Conversely, tap a well-lit object in the image if the image seems to be overexposed.
Focus on an object with a neutral tone for a balanced exposure. Keep in mind that tapping on
another object may shift the focus from your subject.

§ If you are using the default settings and the photo still appears too dark, switch to Night
scene, but place HTC Butterfly 3 on a level surface to keep it steady.

72 Camera

§ If there are parts of the image that are in shadows and others are in highlights, use HDR to
capture multiple shots of different exposures and combine them into one shot. Keep
HTC Butterfly 3 steady or place it on a level surface when using HDR.

§ When taking a panoramic photo, consider the whole scene and focus on an object that has a
neutral tone to help keep the exposure balanced in the composite image.

Other tips

§ In Camera settings, tap Grid to help frame the subject better or improve the composition.

§ If taking photos under fluorescent or incandescent bulbs and the subject appears to be off-

color, tap , and then choose a white balance setting. Check the image on the Viewfinder
and select the option that displays the closest color to the natural color of the subject.

§ In Camera settings, you can tap Image adjustments and adjust the contrast, saturation, and
sharpness before taking the photo.

§ After capturing the photo, you can fine-tune the contrast, brightness, and other settings in
Photo Editor.

Here are important tips to keep in mind while using the Duo Camera so that your photos can be
captured with sufficient depth information, if you want to apply Duo Effects to them in Photo
Editor.

Camera settings

§ You can take Duo Camera photos in Camera capture mode only.

§ To capture depth information, you need to have the following camera settings:

Photo scene Auto
Flash Off
Crop Wide 16:9
Zoom level Lowest level

Lighting

§ Make sure your hand doesn't block the second camera lens.

§ Make sure you take Duo Camera photos in an environment where there is a good light

source. Post-processing Duo Effects do not work for low light photography.

§ If lighting is uneven, like when the background is a little bit under or overexposed, tap to
adjust the exposure value.

30 cm ~ 2 m

75 Camera

Composition

§ Choose an interesting background for your subject. Positioning your subject with some lights
or a garden in the background will add color and distinction to your photo, especially if you'll
apply the UFocus™ effect later.

§ Duo Effects may not work on a close-up shot or on a photo that has the subject too close to
the background. When taking the shot, mind the distance between the camera and your
subject, as well as the distance between your subject and your background.

§ Still life photography looks great with Dimension Plus™ post processing. If you'll use
Dimension Plus, however, you can arrange your subject and background to be closer together
and the distance between your camera and subject can be at least 20 centimeters.

§ Duo Effects will not work on burst shots, zoomed photos, or cropped photos.

See Photo Editor on page 91 for more information about Duo Effects.

How does the Camera app capture RAW photos?

The Camera app captures a photo in both the DNG RAW format and JPG format.
Digital Negative (DNG) is an open-standard lossless RAW image format. Since a RAW file is

typically 2 to 6 times larger than a JPEG file and is not viewable in most photo viewer apps, a photo
is captured in both DNG and JPG formats. When you use the HTC Gallery app, you'll see the JPG
copy of the photo, with a icon to indicate that there is a DNG RAW file of that photo.

RAW photos are not processed when captured to preserve most of the original image data—such as
dynamic range—so you can adjust lighting or make professional adjustments using advanced editing
tools. After making adjustments, save the RAW photo as a JPG file if you want to print or share it.
